4. Application Problem
Jane found money in her pocket. She went to a convenience store and spent ¼ of her money on chocolate milk, of her money on a magazine, and the rest of her money on candy. What fraction of her money did she spend on candy?
1/4 + 3/5 = ?
1/4 x 5/5 + 3/5 x 4/4 = ?
5/ /20 = 17/20 is what we spent on milk and magazine.
1 – 17/20 = ? What is a whole?
20/20 – 17/20 = 3/20
1/4 milk
3/5 magazine
? candy
Jane spent 3/20 of her money on candy.

5. Concept Development – Problem 1 & 2
What additional problem matches the visual.
Draw a number line to show the addition problem.
Solve the following problem using a number line or model visual (rectangles). 1 2 3 1 2 3 4 5

6. Concept Development – Problem 2 & 3=
What do you notice about the fractional units when adding it to a whole number?
The fraction amount doesn’t change. All we have to do is add the whole numbers.
1 – 1 4
Solve using a number line. (Note: Start at 1 because that is the whole.) 1 2
1/4
2/4
3/4

7. Concept Development – Problem 4
Solve using a number line.
2 – 3 5
Where will I start on the number line? 2
What 2 whole numbers will my answer lie between?
1 and 2
What will be the whole number in your answer? 1

8. Concept Development – Problem 4
What will the number look like?
What would the subtraction problem look like in
standard form?
What would we have to do before we could subtract the two numbers?
Borrow a whole group from the 2.
What fraction equals a whole group? Why?
5/5 equals a whole group because we have 5 parts in a whole.
What would the new problem look like? 1 2
1/5
2/5
3/5
4/5
1 1/5 or 6/5
1 4/5 or 9/5
1 3/5 or 8/5
1 2/5 or 7/5 2
3 5
2 5/5
3/5 1

9. Concept Development – Problem 4 & 52
3/5 1
5/5
Now subtract.
Solve by using a number line and the standard form.
